Ever since the release of the Demon’s Souls remake in November, we’ve been slashing our way through some of the toughest monsters gaming has to offer and exploring every nook and cranny of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s dark kingdom of Boletaria. Incredibly, though, we failed to pick up on this little Easter egg until today: You can actually press L3 to have a nice conversation with the game’s bosses and enemies. And you know what, gamers? It turns out that they’re all pretty nice.

remake in November, we’ve been slashing our way through some of the toughest monsters gaming has to offer and exploring every nook and cranny of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s dark kingdom of Boletaria. Incredibly, though, we failed to pick up on this little Easter egg until today: You can actually press L3 to have a nice conversation with the game’s bosses and enemies.

Put simply, most gamers have been completely misreading the aggressive body language and menacing appearance ofenemies. While so many of us instinctively drew our weapons as a Red Eye Knight charged our way, the truth is they just want to talk to you about your favorite entry in thefranchise. Admittedly, it’s banal and can get pretty boring after the Knight keeps telling you that Philip Seymouris underappreciated.

A surprising number of these demons are anti-maskers. Doesn’t mean they’re not nice, they’re just misinformed. Talk to them, but prepare to do some gentle teaching.

The Asylum Demon actually volunteers at the local homeless every Saturday without fail.

Damn this would be great actually

New York Post: 'Hidden feature or cancel culture infested FromSoftware ?'

NOW you tell me..

I sure wish I could play this game, but the fucking scalpers are hoarding all the PS5s.

108 looks like Demon's Souls finally did what Doom never managed to pull off

Im such an asshole. All this time...

TheAceWing

Yeah but it's really awkward when your friend asks the demon which one of you two is the hottest.

But that makes it hard to kill them.

Paging 108

Damn! cc Pseudliminal

I've done this so many times

Yeah. OG demon souls used to be a dating sim. Shame they had to change it. That's how I learned the vanguard's name is joel.

Undertale Souls

Lol

DanFloydPlus This is funnier when you consider the nature of the ones you CAN talk to...

Undersouls Undersouls

bombsfall Already felt bad enough about murdering the cute little bird that sits on top of Adjudicator, this is too much man

DanFloydPlus Yes, but it's a Souls game. If someone is very nice and charming empty all your bombs on his/her face ASAP. Don't touch the body. DON'T.

Use the middle stick to dodge.

Took me forever to find that secret L3 key, but it was worth it. Time to start my pacifist runs.

Yeah but they all have the Crestfallen Warrior voice actor which is kind of jarring.

Communication is the key 🔑

How I’m finna be pulling up to erry demon in da game

The funny thing is people would still rather fight them than talk to them

i suddenly stopped fighting cave dwellers after i pressed a secret undocumented key combo.. and heard the troglodyte chant Now, the caves are turned corona proof Welcome the Cave

Praise the sun Sunbro

justinporterste quiettloudly you guys are doing it wrong

Yes, by all mean, go ahead and walk straight to Flamelurker or even the Old Monk and talk to them, quite the conversationalists. Hell, the Old Monk is technically another player, they’re totally not gonna kill you on sight.

This is literally Undertale summarized in an Onion post.

Demons Souls was a 'war bad' game the entire time

HarryyShepherd

JFSargent This is funny, but I really do think being able to talk to and maybe sometimes reason with enemies would be an interesting mechanic adding tons of moral complexity to games. I know there are games out there that do that, but I want it in like, Far Cry or something.

Cc allDFlavors SarahBrimm 🤯🤯🤯

Unironically should be an actual feature in the game.

Was this not what everyone else was doing? I started playing after people were talking about how hard the game was, but once I played it and talked to the demons I beat the game in a matter of minutes.

At you kidding me, I’M the asshole

To be fair, my unresolved issues over fears of personal failure were much better after a heartfelt chat with Leechmonger.

100% achievement run requires you to learn their political affiliation and their stance on abortion

roryhaspowers cymrogav Krupa who knew?

But that's why they have to die. I have a devastating fear of emotional connections.
